Talking Noisy front drive shaft?

Will a noise be created from the front drive shaft transfer case after a 2" suspension lift? It sounds like a bearing whine under load around 80 kph ease off and it stops
cheers Phil

Hi Phil, yes, it can easily be the driveshaft, especially if it’s a bit worn already, the change in angle gets everything out of kilter and they start getting noisy.

I agree, the front driveshaft can be problematic. Check the rear CV on the transfer case for play first.

That's what happened to me, the cv on rear of front driveshaft was stuffed and the lift made it worse

If you have a bit of a lift, it is possible that the new joint will die quickly too.

I'd be inclined to look at double cordon driveshafts.
